That's how should be, and that can start with higher accountability to the public. We should know what complaints are being filled about the police. We should be able to get bad cops fired without a video and a protest.

In college one white guy on my floor got caught dealing. They put a bracelet on his ankle and let him stay in school. This hells fury stuff for dealers is only for the black one’s.

I miss the days when Karen’s just voted for Obama and we could mostly ignore their BS. Then Trump showed up, and they lost their minds.

“We’re held to a higher standard than normal civilians”

People don’t matter. Money matters. With money you can tell people to walk off a cliff. So long as they get march minorities ahead of them, they will happily comply.

Grocery prices are up. I’m not buying any fancy clothes.

The virus is killing us more because of all the other stuff they’ve already been doing to us. They’ve been hating us for centuries, polluting our neighborhoods, denying us healthcare, denying us education, sicking the police and judges on us. They didn't need a virus, the virus just makes it easier to keep doing this

If MS-13 shot unarned people on camera and went to trial with video proof, they would go to prison. Saying they “feared for their lives” against unarmed people would not work as a defense. If they broke into their neighbors apartment and shot him in cold blood and they were caught, they would not be released to go

I haven't considered airports. However, living in MD I don't see where I would be going that I would stop in Atlanta. Even a trip to South America can be made without a second stop in the US. I usually take the most direct flights I can.

I don't trust Georgia to deliver justice. Honestly, I can't imagine myself ever stepping foot in that state. God bless all those braver than me.

I don't know what the current population numbers are, but between what's happening with immigration, COVID-19, and voter suppression, I am worried that demographics may not mean enough to them. White South Africans were the minority and they still kept Apartheid going for a long time.

They’ll accept any abuse, suffering, or death, so long as black people are getting it worse. There is no bottom with these people.

“when it does happen is because the target(s) of the warrant are real dangerous people.”

Back when Hip Hop wasn’t afraid to tell the truth and deliver a message. Now everyone is a sellout trying to please a Republican fan base, so Kanye can keep hugging orange racists, while selling Yeezy shoes, and being featured on everyone’s album.

I have to disagree with you. I served in Iraq with the US Army Reserves, many of the soldiers I deployed with were police officers in their day jobs. I understand the challenges of breaching a building, and I value the safety of law enforcement.

They should be required to announce themselves as officers of the law prior to entry. Anything less gives the resident a reasonable plea for self defense. Police activity should never be indistinguishable from a home invasion. That is not a “reasonable search,” which is precisely what the Constitution prohibits.

The high rates of turnover for black engineers is especially disconcerting. The last time I looked into it I read reports of that as well as challenges with raises and promotions.

“may not necessarily be associated with greater mortality benefits.”

I can’t read that because it’s behind a paywall and I refuse to subscribe. So, I will assume it’s about knee injuries or ultramarathon junkies.
